		<description>&lt;strong&gt;DIB:  &quot;Our wonderful petro-dollars at work. You do know that the USS Eisenhower has been deployed to protect (ultimately) shenanigans like this?…&quot;&lt;/strong&gt;

I may want to confirm this with Rummy the next time we have lunch but I feel confident that I can say that the USS Eisenhower and its associated battle group has not been dispatched by America to the Gulf to shut down Mahmood&#039;s Den.

Its sad to note that a few days back Mahmood.tv a very brilliant and outspoken blogger from Bahrain has been blocked by his own government accsuing him of “defamation of the person of the king and royal family members.” (press law no. 47, passed in 2002) &#8230; more &#8230;  Mahmood suggests that all the sites blocked are ones that published information on “the Jamal Dawood scandal”. Dawood is the head of Press and Publication for the Bahrani government and has been involved with part plans to order all Bahrani bloggers to register their online presences.

		<description>As ugly as this is, it might end the blocking strategy of Abdul Ghafaar. I&#039;m optimistic. They better unblock MTV soon!

It&#039;s different this time because Mahmood is the top Bahraini &quot;blogger&quot;.. 
We are all willing to back you up. 

Inshalla soon you&#039;ll frame this blocking order and hang it proudly because it proves nothing but Mahmood&#039;s liberal thoughts that enlighten many others.

Ya36eeek el 3afya =) A hero &#039;3a9bn 3n anfhom!</description>
